Breaking the Glass

Overview

Our work, funded by EPSRC EP/N013948/1 , looks to pioneer hands-in and hands-on interaction on deformable mobile display surfaces, leading to dramatic new ways for users to interact with content and services. We will ambitiously drive developments in both physical display materials and interaction techniques, enabling a richer, expressive toolkit of gestures and manipulation on touch surfaces. As the project unfolds we will use this website for updates on our work, and our findings. For more information, see the About page.
